LOS ANGELES (AP) – “Moonlight” has won best picture at the Academy Awards in a historic Oscar upset that followed Faye Dunaway first reading the wrong winner.

Shock and chaos spread through the Dolby Theatre when producers of “La La Land” were stopped in the middle of their acceptance speeches to be informed that Dunaway had incorrectly read “La La Land” as the winner.

Host Jimmy Kimmel came forward to inform the cast that “Moonlight” had indeed won, showing the envelope as proof.

Producer Jordan Horwitz then graciously passed his statue to the “Moonlight” producers.

Actors Warren Beatty and Dunaway apparently took the wrong envelope before announcing the best picture winner at last night’s Academy Awards. Beatty says he paused so long before the name was read because the envelope read Emma Stone, “La La Land.” Dunaway read the name “La La Land” after chiding Beatty for taking so long to read the winner.
